The National Constitution Center is a museum dedicated to the U.S. Constitution. It is located in Philadelphia and includes various exhibits and a multimedia theatrical production. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners Noe that the museum does not houses the original US Constitution (it is stored at the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C).

It is a 5mins' walk to '5th St Independence Hall' subway station (MFL) and bus #48 stops in front of the building on Arch St. There is a parking, enter from Race Street between 5th Street and 6th Street.
